Where tf was this meme 15 years ago?
On the rubric
No I checked
I always thought writing essays was the stupidest part of any class because it’s entirely up to the teacher’s viewpoint on whether the essay was good or not. I finally had a prof in college that REQUIRED us to have a meeting with him with our first draft in hand so that he could critique them before actually turning them in for grading, and suddenly it became so much easier to get good grades on essays.

Hey, you know what? That first time you write it out in full is a first draft.

Is really final if you “edit as needed afterward”?

…yes it literally does lol. Pressing save doesn’t magically create a check point or something. You literally said you write it all out then go back. It doesn’t matter if you do this in one sitting.

Yes.
I feel like essays are where teachers bump up the kids that don’t do well but still try
Looks at Rubric…

damn I wish I still taught middle school ELA just so that I could pop out this bad boy and make all my students cringe smh
Shadow should kiss Sonic with his mouth. In this essay I will…
I’m fucked because I have no idea what a rubrick is
It’s a 3x3x3 cube that teachers give to students to stop them fidgeting in class
No, that’s a Rubik’s. A rubric is a river that traditionally marked the northern border of Italy.
No that’s the Rubicon. Rubric is the guy who directed The Shining
No no that’s Kubrick. Ruberic is when you have a petty argument with someone.
The ol’ Lemmy Switcheroo!
For those of us who need to do research to get this joke, I already did it. They mean Rubicon River (which is no longer in the north, so don’t look for it there, it’s on the opposite side of the knee).
For more context, the Rubicon is famous less among geographers and more among historians. Famously, the governor of a province was not allowed to bring an army south of the Rubicon into Italy, so when Julius Caesar marched south with his army, that is the point at which it was impossible for Rome not to go to civil war. The phrase “crossing the Rubicon” is an English-language idiom (I don’t know if equivalents exist in other languages, though I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s common across countries formerly in the Roman Empire) meaning “passing a point of no return”.
its basically a set of rules the teacher uses to grade students, so just follow the rubric and you’ll get good marks
Bold of you to assume they won’t mark me down based on information they never provided because it was “expected knowledge”
What if Ric doesn’t want to be rubbed?
Ric always wants it.
